Special barlines, which are accessed from Notations > Common > Barline, each have special properties. To fix these up, the easiest thing to do is remove the Instrument Change and create a new one. This means that if the key signature on an Instrument Change appeared on or before the barline, these will continue to appear before the barline.
Old scores opened in 8.7.2 will look exactly the same with regard to these key signature changes. With Sibelius 8.7.2, this is now all handled for you.ġ If any spacing adjustments are needed, simply select the passage and reset the note spacing, by going to Appearance > Reset Notes > Reset Note Spacing.Ģ Best results are accomplished when entering the Key Signature first, then the Instrument Change. In addition to this, if a Key Signature change would happen at the same time, you’d get two key signatures appearing at the same time. In the part, they would split the multirest and it would take a number of steps to get this right. Any change in key signature would be too close to the barline, and on the wrong side too. Many of you will know that entering Instrument Changes would always come with a level of cleanup. We’d like to thank our tireless beta testers for their feedback while we worked on improving this area of the program. This is an area we spent a lot of time on getting right. In total, Sibelius 8.7.2 includes over 70 improvements to both Sibelius application and Sibelius | Cloud Sharing, including: Key Signatures and Instrument Changes
We’re pleased to announce the availability of Sibelius 8.7.2, a maintenance update to Sibelius 8 that brings improvements to several areas of the program, including fixes to some very old problems, as well as enhancements to the recently released Sibelius | Cloud Sharing Dashboard and Viewer.
